ABOUT ME

4me4you recently had the pleasure of visiting Pontone Gallery, which featured the artist Sarah Muirhead.

MY PROCESS

Sarah Muirhead is a highly accomplished figurative artist, renowned for her meticulous attention to detail. Specialising in both painting and drawing across a range of graphic media, her work predominantly explores the adorned and decorated human body, often combining it with powerful representations of apocalyptic and dystopian landscapes.

  • Muirhead’s art is characterised by its complexity and intensity, offering an intricate examination of the human form alongside haunting, imagined worlds.

  • Her compositions are densely layered, with her subjects artfully posed in dynamic, angular, and sinuous arrangements that evoke a sensual, Klimt-like eroticism. The human body is brought into sharp focus, cinematically cropped for dramatic impact. 

  • Many of her models are heavily tattooed, draped in jewellery, and adorned with cryptic symbols, creating a scene reminiscent of a court of decorated figures, each inscribed with hidden meanings. These individuals, captured in Muirhead’s intimate studies, belong to a hermetic group, bound by a complex array of esoteric knowledge.

  • Drawing plays a significant role in Muirhead’s practice, executed with obsessive precision and a desire to capture the full essence of her subjects. Her exceptional skill brings her imagined worlds vividly to life.
